General Roadmap

Loomian Legacy Roadmap.

The general roadmap for future content in Loomian Legacy shows what's to come with the next major updates to the game. The next major update is set to include a PvP overhaul that will make PvP preparation easier and add Ranked mode to the Battle Colosseum, along with many other battle changes. Route 9 is expected to be a snowy route full of Ice-type Loomians. Finally, Raid Battles will become a permanent addition to the game sometime in the future, adding new Loomians, Soul Burst Crystal rewards and much more.

Next Update: UMV and Arcade Additions

Time until release: April 19 2024 16:00:00 CST Update released.
The next content update will arrive to Loomian Legacy on April 19th. It will include new things to discover in Lagoona Lake along with functionality to the Zuelooong and Propae Pummel machines in the Atlanthian Arcade. New items will also be added to the Arcade Shop, including UMV Batteries.

Upcoming Locations

Route 9

A new route that will be released after the Atlanthian City Part 2 update. It is said to be "freezing cold" and will become accessible via the Cheshma Train Station.

Frostveil

A new location that houses the next corrupted tablet, as stated by the player's dad. It will likely become accessible after Route 9. It is not clear if Frostveil is a town, city, village, or something of the like.

Upcoming Game Mechanics

PvP Team Builder

Team Builder UI.

The Team Builder (also referred to as "Dream Teams") is an upcoming mechanic to be introduced in the PvP Rework update. This feature will give players the ability to freely create and test Loomian teams for PvP battles against other players' "Dream Teams". Loomians will be fully customizable, including the ability to change its Personalities, UP values, TP values, gender (if applicable), name, level, Ability, and Item. The Loomian can also be changed into its Alpha or Gamma Gleaming forms, with Gamma Gleaming Loomians also having the ability to customize its wisp. These created Loomians will not appear in the player's Loomian Care system and are exclusive to the Team Builder. Players will also be able to import teams that other players have made and export teams that they make for others to try. Dream Teams will only be able to be used in Casual ruleset battles.

PvP Battle Backgrounds

With the introduction of the PvP Rework update, players will be able to choose their battle background for battles at the Battle Colosseum. Some of these backgrounds will be remastered versions of old backgrounds from Pokémon Brick Bronze, such as the Docks background, while others will be brand new additions.

Raid Battles

Raid Battles were introduced as an experimental feature in the v0.4.8b update as a part of the 2023 Easter Event. Players were able to battle Dreggodyne and earn rewards for a limited time. When the 2023 Easter Event came to a close, Raid Battles were removed from the game. They returned for a sidequest given by Mr. Ferrix where the player is tasked with defeating the Soul Burst Loomians that are appearing throughout Roria. They returned again during the 2023 Halloween Event and 2023 Holiday Event where Willbound Metronette and Incarnate Icigool were able to be battled, respectively. Raid Battles may receive an overhaul before they make a more permanent return to the game sometime in the future.

Weather Conditions

Two new adverse weather conditions, Thunderstorm and Snowstorm, are expected to be released into the game sometime in the future.

In battle, Thunderstorm will increase the damage and accuracy of all Electric-type moves by 25%, and make all Loomians unable to fall asleep (and wake up any Loomians already asleep). It is unknown what Snowstorm will do in battle.

Both weathers are expected to have a move that summons the weather in battle, like Hazy Shroud for Dense Fog.

Other

Starla is the nickname of a Loomian which first appeared in Route 8. It is currently Mabel's first and only Loomian as a Loomian Trainer. Only Starla's appearance and call sound is known. It is expected to make future appearances in the game.

Moldecca

Moldecca is a giant whale Loomian seen swimming around Atlanthian City and is spoken about when the player arrives in Atlanthian City for their first time. It's said that Moldecca showed up a few years ago, with people theorizing it could be trying to protect the city. After the story events at the Lost City, Moldecca starts swimming towards land, specifically the Battle Colosseum. This Loomian is expected to make future appearances in the game.

The following changes are planned to come with the PvP Rework update:

• Mechanical changes:
  • Every Loomian, including Roaming Loomians, will have their Base Stat Totals increased to give buffs to weaker Loomians and fix awkward base stats such as Kanibo's base 9 Ranged Attack stat. These changes will follow these guidelines:

    • At the end of each turn, any Loomian that is on or off the field will recover 5% of their maximum Energy.
  • The Freeze status ailment is planned to be reworked to become the Ranged counterpart to Burn. Instead of halving Melee Attack like Burn, Freeze will halve Ranged Attack.
